Frequently Asked Questions

What kinds of cooler bags are in this collection?

This collection currently features a versatile mix of styles, including lunch cooler bags for adults, medium and large soft cooler bags, insulated cooler tote bags, and bottle-bag styles. Whether you need a compact bag for work or a roomy tote for groceries, you'll find it here.

Are SCOUT cooler bags insulated?

Yes. All SCOUT coolers are insulated. Depending on the product, they use high-quality foam insulation or a thermal liner to keep your food and drinks cold. For the best cooling performance, we highly recommend using reusable ice packs.

Are SCOUT cooler bags easy to clean?

Absolutely. Many of our portable cooler bags feature wipeable, water-resistant liners. If a spill happens, simply spot clean or wipe it down with a damp cloth. Some styles even feature a waterproof base for extra protection. (Care instructions vary slightly by product, so be sure to check the individual product page!)

Which SCOUT cooler is best for bigger outings?

If you need a large bag for a beach trip or picnic, Stiff One Cooler is our top recommendation as it holds up to 30 standard cans. For slightly smaller outings or stacked food containers, Pleasure Chest works beautifully, while the Nooner remains our most popular small lunch size.

Do all SCOUT cooler bags have the same pockets and closures?

No, features vary to suit different needs. Some of our cooler tote bags use heavy-duty zip closures, while others use a grip-strip closure. Pocket layouts, strap lengths, and handles also differ by style to maximize convenience for travel and daily use.

What is the best insulated cooler bag for the beach?

We have a collection of beach and pool coolers for the sand and sun. They are incredibly lightweight, easy to carry over your shoulder, and feature durable bottoms that stand up to sand and water – keeping your food and beverages cold for hours.
